This year’s Eurovision continues to both delight and horrify in equal measure. Apparently it’s going out to China, and also to the USA for the first time!
Any American OT’ers spending their afternoon watching this televisual treat?
Probably not. We’ve been so saturated by shows like American Idol and The Voice and whatnot for so long that it would take a might blow to crack into that audience. Most people here probably don’t understand the kitsch and charm of Eurovision, and probably would just assume it’s a “Europoor” cheap knock-off of American Idol and it’s ilk.
I might like it then, as I never liked Idol. I only ever watched it early in each season when all the hilariously awful singers would audition. Even then I would only watch one or two episodes at most, then not at all for a year.
